Manual File Export and Email Submission
Practices were manually exporting STL files from scanner software, attaching them to emails, and sending to labs — a process that took 1–2 days and frequently resulted in lost or corrupted files.
Replacing manual STL exports, emailed files, and faxed order forms with a seamless digital pipeline — scan, review, calculate fit, approve, and order — all in 60 seconds from within the patient case.
Digitize Your Appliance WorkflowA fully digital scan-to-appliance pipeline that connects the digital scanning workflow directly to manufacturing lab submission — with built-in 3D scan review, fit calculations, jaw positioning analysis, and real-time manufacturing status tracking.
The platform eliminates every manual step between scanning a patient and receiving a finished appliance, reducing specification errors by 90% and improving average turnaround from 3 weeks to 10 days.
Even practices that invested in digital scanners were still manually exporting STL files, emailing them to labs, filling out paper order forms, and calling to confirm receipt — defeating the entire purpose of going digital and introducing errors at every handoff point.
A tech-forward practice invested $25K in a digital scanner but was still emailing STL files and faxing order forms to their lab. Appliance specifications were communicated via phone calls, leading to frequent misunderstandings and remakes that cost $200–400 each.
The goal was to create a true zero-touch pipeline — from the moment a scan is captured to the moment an appliance arrives — with automated specifications, digital prescriptions, and real-time manufacturing tracking, all within the patient case record.
Practices were manually exporting STL files from scanner software, attaching them to emails, and sending to labs — a process that took 1–2 days and frequently resulted in lost or corrupted files.
Appliance specifications were communicated via faxed order forms and phone calls, leading to frequent misinterpretations and remakes costing $200–400 per error.
Once an order was submitted, practices had no visibility into manufacturing status — resorting to phone calls to check on progress and unable to proactively schedule fitting appointments.
Manually transcribing fit measurements and jaw positioning data onto order forms introduced errors that were only discovered when the finished appliance didn't fit — wasting weeks of manufacturing time.
We built the missing link between digital scanners and manufacturing labs — a zero-touch pipeline that automates specification calculations, prescription generation, lab submission, and manufacturing tracking within a single patient case view.
Automated fit calculation engine that analyzes scan geometry and recommends optimal appliance specifications — eliminating manual measurement transcription errors.
Prescription forms are auto-populated from case data, scan analysis, and fit calculations — ensuring the lab receives complete, accurate specifications every time.
Live manufacturing status updates from submission through fabrication, quality check, and shipment — with automatic fitting appointment scheduling upon delivery.
The entire appliance journey — from scan capture to delivery — is visible within the patient case record, providing a complete audit trail and reorder history.
